Your intrepid travellers ventured from the safety of the orphanage on their first camping trip. We camped at a Bird sanctuary by the salt pans. The tent we have borrowed seemed flimsy and insubstantial compared to the lions elephants and dinasaurs lurking out there. We followed all the rules driving the 2 meters to the toilet and staying very quiet apart from the tent vibrating with our nervousness. In the morning we discovered the wild animal threatening us in the night was a donkey. The pans were really spectacular. Miles of white salt encrusted sand seemingly going on for miles. Then is the lakes left by the last rains flocks of flamingo and pelicans.This is just a trial run so please reply so we know if it works

love to you all Jane and Joe.

Wow! Wonderful - and entertaining too! I'm grinning at the screen as if you are here - and it's a sunny morning after 2 days of steady rain - at last!

Jackie is visiting, mid-semester break, snoozing as I type - a happy Mum!

Much love to you both

Hi Jane and Joe
great to hear from you-and what a fantastic system!!
Glad you weren't gored by the donkey!!
Things are great here. We have a delightful new addition to the family-a puppy called Fred. He's a middie poodle: a cross betweed the standard (large) and the miniature (medium size). Ro said to tell you Jane that Serge's book is out and is doing well.
Love
Tony

on line at last! All those walks around cape byron talking of Africa and now you are living the dream, fantastic. Climbed the cape yesterday , saw many dolphins flying thru the whitewater saying an aerial howdy.
Look forward to the updates of your adventures, sounds like you are both in your element.

Hi Jane
At long last I have been able to make contact...thank you for the opportunity. You are in our thoughts and prayers constantly. Delighted that all is going so well. Keep well and happy and SAFE in the jungle. This seems to be a great system you have going...don't know if this is getting through but hope it is...I'm computer illiterate!!
Heaps of love
Joan
